A proposal that:
- St Andrew, Cottam,
and St Mary, Lea Town, would merge into a new parish soon and the church of
St Mary, Lea Town, would then be expected to cease to be used for Sunday/vigil Mass.
- The new parish and St Robert, Catforth, would later merge into a second new parish.
- The church of St Robert, Catforth, would be expected to cease to have its Sunday Mass if Mass attendance continues to fall.
- LATER:
The new parish would link with St Mary, Newhouse, using both churches.

Comments from the Mission Review Team and its Core Group (see also Section 1 for general comments):
- This is a new proposal made following information received about the close relationship presently existing between St Andrew, Cottam, and St Mary, Newhouse, and because they share a primary school.
- The nearest retained church for people living in the parish of St Mary, Lea Town, would be St Andrew, Cottam, and although presently linked with the parish of Our Lady and St Bernard, it would seem advantageous to consider its future as part of this parish.
- The churches of St Robert's, Catforth, and St Mary, Lea Town, could continue to have a Sunday/vigil Mass for some time if a priest is available. This would be a matter to be decided by the parish priest.
